The title of this thread is worth its weight in licorice extract!
Speaking of which, is Tietlebaum really going to try and push *more* licorice extract on us after all these years? Thymus and Vitamin C IVs sound reasonable, and the IM gamma globulin seems like a good idea, except for the fact that AIDS patients tried all of this already and still died (and early ME/CFS studies on IVIG/gamma globulin had mixed results). It's gotta be crushing for Tietlebaum to contemplate a reality where he has to stop putting the "F" word (fatigue) on everything he markets to the sick and hopeless: maybe we should feel sorry for him for the amount of money he'll have to spend to erase that word from his empire?

should we really hit this link and give him more hits and possibly business. My thoughts of him now are that he is pathetic and a waste of time. I believe his rubbish was published in Psychology Today or something like that?!

I've had IVIG and it did nothing for me. I've had decades of supplements and spent thousands of pounds trying to fight this disease. So depressing to see the same old unproven things recommended again.
